I mean, if I were to walk into a store of exclusively delicate, minimal, gold jewelry I’d be in trouble.

Lately it’s been like rings for days over here on my fingers, and the most minimal and simple earrings I can get my hands on. If I didn’t have a toddler, and a baby, I’d be wearing necklaces and bracelets too.

Worn alone or layered, there are so many different ways to combine simple jewels and accessories like these. I think that’s why I like neutral clothes so much too — you can mix and match endlessly.

I can barely remember when I wore only silver jewelry. I think it was 2009? I remember gold coming back into style and thinking to myself that I’d never jump aboard that train–and look at me now. All gold except my wedding bands + engagement ring.

I still, though, struggle mixing metals when I’m wearing jewelry. I love wearing rose + yellow gold together, but silver and gold together feels a little too busy. Do you mix and match you metals, or keep it in the same color palette?

My wedding rings are yellow gold, I was married almost 25 years ago, so that was the fashion at the time. Most of my rings are yellow gold, but I do wear a silver band on my right hand that belonged to my father. I don’t mix metals on the same hand. I don’t mind them gold on one and silver on the other, just not on the same hand.

I love silver and yellow gold together, and have several pieces of the two-toned jewelry. I also think rose gold and silver look great together. My husband bought me a pretty necklace from Tiffany that is rose gold and silver. I’m really not a fan of mixing rose gold and yellow gold together.

I started my love affair with simple metals around the same time you did. I’ve always been a fan of the big, chunky necklaces, but lately I cannot get enough of the delicate necklaces and rings. I wish I could wear earrings because there are so many I’d add to my jewelry collection. I’m partial to gold, but I’ll toss in some silver occasionally, but never together 🙂

My wedding band (and my husband’s) were custom made with a 3 strips: white gold, yellow gold, white gold. That way they go with any other metal I wear 😉 My engagement ring is white gold as is the eternity band I got for my 40th (they border my wedding band). But I tend to wear white gold since it goes better with my skin tone. My daughter’s have purchased yellow gold items for me and I wear them on occasion as well.

Nice picks above!

My wedding band is yellow gold so I wear a gold trimmed watch. I tend to change it up with rings on the my right hand, because I have several that are family heirlooms and they are mostly silver. I like wearing all kinds of earrings, depends more on the style than if they’re silver or gold. I guess I’m pretty eclectic when it comes to jewelry!

I’ve also recently become more in love with gold jewelry. I think it’s just the warmth of it. I haven’t gotten into mixing golds though, just straight yellow gold for me!

I like the mixed metal look – and lets me feel a bit better about my white gold wedding set.

I was just thinking the same thing this morning! I swore I would never wear gold and now that’s mostly what I wear (minus the wedding rings). I’m definitely not brave enough to mix and match gold and silver. I’ve seen some people do it with a lot of bangles and that looks good, but I’m not there yet.

I love wearing silver and gold together! I think it helps that I have a watch that is two-toned, so it pulls it all together if I do combine my metals.

I love yellow and silver together. I have a few pieces that combine the two and wear them all the time! I have a pretty neutral skin tone so I’m able to pull off both metals.

I am like you. I never thought I would jump back in with gold jewelry! I was like no way! But i have new found love affair with gold especially rose gold. I too love just some simple earrings and a simple necklace. It just feels classy.

My wedding band is yellow gold – it was my grandma’s wedding band. I had my sapphire engagement ring custom-made so that the wedding band sits underneath/between the engagement ring (can’t really describe it – only a picture would work!).
Anyway, I’m not a huge fan of yellow gold, so the engagement ring is white gold with one small accent in yellow gold to tie in with the wedding band.
In my opinion, the two tones of gold work really well together and create a modern look!

I love rose gold and white gold together. I am on a huge rose gold kick right now. I used to solely wear one metal and thought it was a sin to mix….now it’s nothing to see me mix them.

I was the same way about gold when it first made the come-back, but I ended up getting a gold college ring, and, once I actually started wearing it every day, I discovered that I loved it!
I’ve never been a metal mixer either, but I have a silver crown of thorns ring that I also wear every day, and I just couldn’t let my fear of a fashion faux pas cause me to stop wearing either of those rings that are such important reminders to me, so I’ve now embraced the mixed metals look in that I’ll wear a different metal on each hand, and sometimes even a gold watch with a silver bracelet, but I definitely haven’t gotten bold enough to wear two different metal necklaces…

Yellow gold Claddagh on my right hand. Family heirloom that I will pass down to my daughter eventually.

White gold engagement ring and wedding band on my left hand. Steel watch also on my left.

White gold diamond studs that my husband gave me as a wedding gift.

So no, not much of a problem mixing 🙂

Minimal gold jewelry is so classy and ethereal. I used to wear big statement pieces, but now i prefer the “less is more” approach.

I don’t usually mix metals, but when I do, I usually mix small amounts. I actually like the way it looks to mix metals, I just haven’t majorly done it yet.

Ive recently starting mixing metals. I wasn’t into yellow gold for a very long time and after messing around with mixing while making jewelry, Im starting to like it. I have a long skinny silver necklace with a gold camera on it and thats what got me thinking mixing was ok.

I love all of these! I like mixing silver with both rose and yellow gold. I actually sell jewelry and I think you would like some of the more delicate pieces that I sell! You should take a look sometime!

I’m trying to jump on the delicate fold jewelry train. I have a few silver pieces which I love and I too find it hard to mix my silver with my gold. Maybe I’m just not brave enough and just need to do it. Honestly, who cares, right?

This is a very random question but about a week ago I clicked on the link for the bag and it took me to an Easy shop for bags made in Australia that I loved. I kept the page open a few days while I decided on which bag I wanted to purchase. The tab got closed on my computer and of course, I didn’t tag the shop as a favorite on Etsy. Today when I clicked on the link, it took me to a shop in France with different bags. Do you have the name of the Easy shop you intended to link to??

I love golds and rose gold! In fact my boyfriend and I just looked at some engagement rings and fell in love with a rose gold diamond and morganite ring. Ive only really ever worn soft gold jewelry with little pops of color. I have a hard time with silver and golds meshing so I’m going with a rose gold engagement and wedding band so I can always match, haha.
